Description

A no compromise travel rod designed for the angler on the go, the LEGIT DESIGN WILD SIDE 5-Piece Spinning Rod is made with premium components and strong U-joints to deliver portability without sacrificing strength and sensitivity. Reinforced with Aramid Fibers, this heat resistant material offsets the brittleness of high modulus graphite by strengthening the rod and keeping the blank flexible for enhanced action, improved tenacity, and a longer lifespan. Surrounded by high-quality cork for improved feel and sensitivity, WILD SIDE travel spinning rods are fitted with Fuji VSS reel seats to increase stability. The rod sections are joined by a dowel glued securely into the lower rod section, and when properly assembled, the two rod sections do not meet and are separated by upwards of a 1/2". This spigot ferrule or U joint connection has long been the preferred joint for high end fly rods, by providing a smoother rod action regardless of the number of sections and offering the feeling of a one-piece rod as the bend flows seamlessly through the blank. Arrows illustrate where the pieces should align, and the sections lock firmly into place with a quarter turn. All 5-piece LEGIT DESIGN Rods come with a soft sided carrying case that adds only 2 ounces of weight. The case fits nicely into a carry-on bag or backpack and is great for taking with you on a plane or keeping behind the seat of your truck for that emergency fishing situation. An all-around rod perfect for a wide array of finesse techniques, the LEGIT DESIGN WILD SIDE 5-piece Spinning Rod delivers high performance in a convenient package that breaks down to less than 22" in length. -Collapsed size including case: 21"-Limited 2-year Warranty with $75 no questions asked replacement fee.
